Glazing Vision Group Limited

What Glazing Vision Group Limited does

Glazing Vision is a UK-based specialist manufacturer of architectural glass rooflights and skylights, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Diss, Norfolk, where it operates a single manufacturing facility assembling bespoke products. Its portfolio spans fixed (Flushglaze, Ridgeglaze), sliding, box (Free Standing Skybox, Three Wall), hinged (Visionvent, SkyHatch, Skydoor), pyramid, and fire-rated/AOV rooflights, plus a Pitchglaze pitched roof window line and a Bespoke Rooflight Service for custom specifications. The company's design philosophy centres on minimal framework and maximum daylight transmission, with proprietary technologies including Flushglaze flat rooflights (the first BBA-approved flat rooflight), walk-on pedestrian-rated systems, and solar-control glazing options.

The business operates a direct, specification-led go-to-market model: Technical Specification Managers (TSMs) are assigned by project location, supported by a Sales Manager, and work directly with architects, contractors, and homeowners from enquiry through installation. Pricing is quote-based and bespoke, with products certified to BBA, LPCB, Secured by Design, UKCA and CE Mark standards and manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The company serves three primary personas (architects, contractors, homeowners) across the UK, US, Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, and Australia via country-specific websites and a distributor partnership with Next Generation Glass in Australia. Named enterprise customers include Berkeley Group, Vinci Construction, Sir Robert McAlpine, Willmott Dixon, Bowmer + Kirkland, CBRE, and Taylor Wimpey, alongside high-end residential projects that have won multiple HIA Australian Housing Awards in 2025–2026. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company is privately held with no identified parent, private equity, or venture capital backing.
